Your life, and your feelings matter. I can give you a safe, confidential space to be heard, accepted, and understood. You get to tell your story and talk about your struggles at your own pace, and together we can work towards greater clarity and resolutions. In our sessions I draw partly on my own lived experience. I have insight into trauma, workplace stress, high-functioning autism and supporting a family member with dementia. I also have 25 years experience working with children and their families. These assets give me empathy and a deep understanding of a wide range of others' personal experiences.
I can help with a variety of issues, including mood disorders, female autism presentation, and relationship issues. I provide a safe professional space for you, starting where you are at, and working from there at your own pace and comfort. I emphasise strengths, solutions, emotionally focused therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Contact me today and ask how I can help you.
